Files management interface
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is the first bit of an ongoing work that will span several releases, to
bring more powerful library management features to Funkwhale. This iteration
includes a basic file management interface where users with the "library"
permission can list and search available files, order them using
various criterias (size, bitrate, duration...) and delete them.
New "upload" permission
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This new permission is helpful if you want to give upload/import rights
to some users, but don't want them to be able to manage the library as a whole:
although there are no controls yet for managing library in the fron-end,
subsequent release will introduce management interfaces for artists, files,
etc.
Because of that, users with the "library" permission will have much more power,
and will also be able to remove content from the platform. On the other hand,
users with the "upload" permission will only have the ability to add new
content.
Also, this release also includes a new feature called "default permissions":
those are permissions that are granted to every users on the platform.
On public/open instances, this will play well with the "upload" permission
since everyone will be able to contribute to the instance library without
an admin giving the permission to every single user.
Smarter album cover importer
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
In earlier versions, covers where only imported when launching a YouTube import.
Starting from this release, covers will be imported regardless of the import mode
(file upload, youtube-dl, CLI, in-place...). Funkwhale will look for covers
in the following order:
1. In the imported file itself (FLAC/MP3 only)
2. In a cover.jpg or cover.png in the file directory
3. By fetching cover art from Musibrainz, assuming the file is tagged correctly
This will only work for newly imported tracks and albums though. In the future,
we may offer an option to refetch album covers from the interface, but in the
meantime, you can use the following snippet:
.. code-block:: python
# Store this in /tmp/update_albums.py
from funkwhale_api.music.models import Album, TrackFile
from funkwhale_api.music.tasks import update_album_cover
albums_without_covers = Album.objects.filter(cover='')
total = albums_without_covers.count()
print('Found {} albums without cover'.format(total))
for i, album in enumerate(albums_without_covers.iterator()):
print('[{}/{}] Fetching cover for {}...'.format(i+1, total, album.title))
f = TrackFile.objects.filter(track__album=album).filter(source__startswith='file://').first()
update_album_cover(album, track_file=f)
Then launch it::
# docker setups
cat /tmp/update_albums.py | docker-compose run --rm api python manage.py shell -i python
# non-docker setups
source /srv/funkwhale/load_env
source /srv/funkwhale/virtualenv/bin/activate
cat /tmp/update_albums.py | python manage.py shell -i python
# cleanup
rm /tmp/update_albums.py
.. note::
Depending on your number of albums, the previous snippet may take some time
to execute. You can interrupt it at any time using ctrl-c and relaunch it later,
as it's idempotent.
Music API changes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This release includes an API break. Even though the API is advertised
as unstable, and not documented, here is a brief explanation of the change in
case you are using the API in a client or in a script. Summary of the changes:
- ``/api/v1/artists`` does not includes a list of tracks anymore. It was to heavy
to return all of this data all the time. You can get all tracks for an
artist using ``/api/v1/tracks?artist=artist_id``
- Additionally, ``/api/v1/tracks`` now support an ``album`` filter to filter
tracks matching an album
- ``/api/v1/artists/search``, ``/api/v1/albums/search`` and ``/api/v1/tracks/search``
endpoints are removed. Use ``/api/v1/{artists|albums|tracks}/?q=yourquery``
instead. It's also more powerful, since you can combine search with other
filters and ordering options.
- ``/api/v1/requests/import-requests/search`` endpoint is removed as well.
Use ``/api/v1/requests/import-requests/?q=yourquery``
instead. It's also more powerful, since you can combine search with other
filters and ordering options.
Of course, the front-end was updated to work with the new API, so this should
not impact end-users in any way, apart from slight performance gains.
.. note::
The API is still not stable and may evolve again in the future. API freeze
will come at a later point.
Flac files imports via upload
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You have nothing to do to benefit from this, however, since Flac files
tend to be a lot bigger than other files, you may want to increase the
``client_max_body_size`` value in your Nginx configuration if you plan
to upload flac files.
Missing subsonic configuration bloc in vhost files
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Because of a missing bloc in the sample Nginx and Apache configurations,
instances that were deployed after the 0.13 release are likely to be unable
to answer to Subsonic clients (the missing bits were properly documented
in the changelog).
Ensure you have the following snippets in your Nginx or Apache configuration
if you plan to use the Subsonic API.
Nginx::
location /rest/ {
include /etc/nginx/funkwhale_proxy.conf;
proxy_pass http://funkwhale-api/api/subsonic/rest/;
}
Apache2::
<Location "/rest">
ProxyPass ${funkwhale-api}/api/subsonic/rest
ProxyPassReverse ${funkwhale-api}/api/subsonic/rest
</Location>
Until now the ID3Tag for the Track-Number was read from TPOS.
The Problem is, that TPOS is the part of the set (eg disc number)
and not the track-number. TRCK is the correct tag for the track
number.
